Appendix A

CERTAIN marked Scripture precepts
and promises had such a singular influence upon this man of God, and so often
proved the guides to his course, that they illustrate Psalm cxix.105:

a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path."

Those texts which, at the parting
of the way, became to him God's sign-boards, showing him the true direction,
